Weekend nannies? RSS feed

Anonymous
Is there such a thing as a weekend-only nanny? Are there quality nanny professionals who would take such a job? I mean a real nanny, not just a babysitter. I'm thinking quality nannies would prefer working M-F and have their weekends off. And how much more (I'm assuming they make more hourly) would they make compared to a M-F nanny? I'm looking for someone to help out either in the mornings or half-day on both Saturday and Sunday.

Of course it exists.

If you pay her a M-F salary for Sat and Sun you could find many qualified candidates.

I am a nanny. I work M-F 45 hours a week for one family and on Saturday I work with another family for 6 hours.

So yeah.

Depends on the details, OP, just like anything else.

Yes there are, my NF has one. I've helped search for weekend nannies and it can be difficult to find good ones who wills stay long term though.

Yes there are, but usually these positions pay more (that's the incentive). I work M-F, 35-40hrs a week for $28"9/hr gross and I work Sundays/holiday Mondays for a different family for $35/hr. I'm in LA so the rates are much higher, but just wanted to give you an example.

I meant $29/hr typo!

Yeah, I work M-F for one family and Saturdays for 6 hours for another. I don't think it's uncommon. We have an 'informal' agreement so there are no guaranteed hours which means that if one Saturday they don't need me, they let me know (always in advance) and I don't get paid, and if I have something then I can call out and don't get paid. It works for us - but then I'm only there so the parents can spend some time with the older kids while I help out with the littles, so it's all flexible. If you need someone permanent and reliable, you need to have it set up as a regular full-time nanny job with guaranteed hours.

Sure you can find a quality person willing to work weekends only.

It may take more time to find that person, but it's not impossible.

I am a special education teacher with aspirations of becoming a weekend nanny in a few years. I need about 5 more years of teaching then it would be wonderful!

I could be home during the week/volunteer in my kids school & still work. Every time I see a great weekend nanny job posted I start thinking about how great it will be when I can make the switch
